The  Lombard  Conservatory  of  Music* 


THE  Lombard  Conservatory  of  Music  is  an  advanced  school  of  music,  established 
for  the  purpose  of  affording  superior  advantages  in  the  study  of  music.     The 
faculty  of  the  Conservatory  consists  of  musicians  of  the  highest  merit,  thorough- 
ly up  to  date  in  the  most  progressive  courses  for  the  American  student  of  music. 
All  instruction,  except  in  the  theoretical  subjects,  is  given  in  private  lessons. 
The  student  is  continually  surrounded  by  artistic   and  educational  influences  cal- 
culated to  broaden  his  general  knowledge  and  to  improve  his  taste  and  judgment. 

Regularity  and  discipline  are  of  first  importance,  tending  to  form  and  strengthen 
character. 

Recitals  are  given  each  term,  affording  public  appearance  for  those  who  have  com- 
pleted parts  of  the  courses. 


The  Faculty* 


KELLEY  L.  ALEXANDER,  Director,  Instructor  in  Voice  Culture. 

ARTHUR  H.  ARNEKE.  A.  G.  O.,  Instructor  in  Piano,  Organ,  and  Theoretical  Courses. 

GEORGE  GRAHAM,  Instructor  in  Violin. 


Mr.  Kelley  L.  Alexander,  the  director  of  the  Conservatory,  has  made  a  specialty  of 
presenting  the  most  progressive  course  of  study  for  the  American  singer.  His  in- 
structors were  among  the  most  successful  in  the  profession;  some  of  whom  were  Mr. 
Adrian  Freni,  Mr.  Charles  B.  Hawley,  and  Mr.  Isadore  Luckstone,  of  New  York  city. 
Mr.  Alexander's  past  year's  success,  both  as  director  of  the  Conservatory  and  instructor 
in  the  art  of  singing,  goes  to  insure  greater  results  another  year. 

Mr.  Arthur  H.  Arneke,  who  has  so  successfully  conducted  the  courses  in  Pianoforte 
and  Organ  playing,  will  return  the  first  of  September  after  an  extended  trip  through 
the  east,  attending  festivals  and  concerts. 

Mr.  George  Graham,  as  instructor  in  Violin  playing,  has  established  an  enviable 
reputation  by  his  past  successes,  and  will  continue  this  course  another  year  on  a  much 
broader  basis. 

Each  instructor  is  an  artist  in  his  specialty,  and  is  therefore  in  a  position  to  de- 
monstrate the  practical  side  as  well  as  giving  the  theoretical. 


Courses  of  Study. 


The  Conservatory  offers  systematic  courses  of  instruction  in  Piano,  Voice  Culture,

This  course  is  intended  for  those  who,  having  had  no  previous  knowledge  of  music, 
wish  to  prepare  for  the  advanced  courses.  Children  in  this  course  are  instructed  in 
true  musical  appreciation,  and  a  foundation  is  laid  for  more  advanced  work  in  vocal 
or  instrumental  music.

teaching  has  been  planned  for  those  wishing  a  course  of  this  nature.  A  special  certifi- 
cate will  be  given  to  those  students  who  have  a  sufficient  mastery  of  some  instrument 


or  the  art  of  singing  to  give  a  private  recital;  and  who  have  pursued  studies  in  the  art 
of  teaching,  and  have  had  practical  experience  in  teaching  under  the  supervision  of 
their  teacher  for  a  satisfactory  length  of  time  to  insure  their  ability. 

Diploma  Course. 

The  diploma  course  is  planned  for  those  who  are  qualified  to  pursue  the  more  ad- 
vanced work  in  preparing  for  the  entrance  into  professional  life.  To  complete  this 
course  the  students  are  required  to  pass  an  examination  arranged  to  demonstrate  their 
artistic  skill  in  performance,  and  thorough  knowledge  of  the  theoretical  and  historical 
branches  necessary  for  a  well-developed  artist. 

Post-Graduate  Course. 

For  those  students  completing  the  diploma  course  a  post-graduate  course  has  been
